Level 1 Neo Tantra ImmersionBe Fully Alive . Santa Monica

Your sexual energy is one of the most powerful spiritual awakening forces in your life, yet a great deal of your sexual potential lies untapped, unexplored. Learn ways of accessing this potential, freeing it, as you open your body, heart and soul to the experience of being fully alive.

Using Neo Tantra techniques that incorporate breath, movement and awareness, you will learn how to access the heart of your aliveness - your sexual energy.

The word Tantra has many meanings, it can mean “to weave”, it can also mean “technique”. In recent years interest in Tantra has grown, many teachers are sharing extraordinary practices and teachings, some reaching back thousands of years, others as fresh as the turn of the century and others even more recent.

You have probably already recognized the potency of sex in your own life - and feel ready to explore Tantra.

Through Tantra you will find an endless road of possibility, revealing practical tools that lead to physical, emotional and spiritual fulfillment as a lover.

In this process, you will discover a life that exceeds your wildest dreams. You will be intrigued by what is possible for you as a sexual being.

I look forward to having you along for the quest.

What to Expect

All processes are taught and effectively learned fully clothed and without direct sexual contact.

There is no nudity or sexual contact in the seminar.

All techniques and processes are shared with warmth and respect.

You may choose to work alone or with a partner for all partnered exercises.

Many singles and couples attend, partnering among singles happens with great ease, life long friendships are often forged.

Breathing

According to Masters and Johnson’s Human Sexual Response Cycle model, when sexual arousal increases, so does the rate of breathing.

Increased oxygenation caused by increased rate of breathing leads to increased genital sensitivity and excitement in both men and women.

Breathing expands this intensity throughout the body, allowing sexual arousal to fill the genitals and overflow into the entire body.

We’ll explore breathing methods that make this process more conscious, making it possible to access a wide range of sexual arousal states and experiences in lovemaking alone and with a partner.

Giving and Receiving

Truly satisfying sex requires that we embrace the dynamics of giving and receiving, it is necessary to simultaneously connect and let go within ourselves and with our partner.

This balance is not always easy, many of us find we are more comfortable giving pleasure in lovemaking and less comfortable receiving.

We’ll explore the connection between receptivity, orgasm and fulfillment, and the origins of each.

Sexual Persona

Our upbringing has a tremendous impact on who we are as sexual adults. The messages and beliefs we hold are often hidden, causing us to be less open sexually than we know we are capable of.

We’ll explore the roots of our sexual persona and begin to move beyond any elements that may be limiting us.

The Pelvis

It comes as no surprise that our pelvis is an important part of our sexual experience.

The pelvis is alive with a complex matrix of sensory nerves responsible for a great deal of our sexual pleasure.

We live in a time and a culture where we spend a fair amount of time sitting, causing stagnation in the lower back and groin, leading, over time, to diminished sensitivity in the genitals.

It’s important to realize our pelvis also contains the center of who we are, the Taoist’s call it the dantien. Bringing vitality into the pelvis brings vitality into our sense of who we are, increases our confidence and ability to interact successfully in all intimate situations.

We’ll learn sexual yogas that open energy channels that increase sexual sensitivity and pleasure while simultaneously liberating our own healthy sense of ourselves.

The Pelvic Floor

Just as the pelvis is key to our sexual expression and healthy sense of self, the pelvic floor, muscles that surround and support the genitals, are essential to the magnitude of orgasm and sexual “fit” we have with a partner.

Engorgement tissues in both men and women create the fullness that increases the pleasurable contact between lovers.

These tissues, when fully functioning, can heighten the intensity of orgasm by increasing the reservoir of sexual pleasure accumulated during sexual stimulation.

These techniques are also important in genital rejuvenation for women experiencing hormonal changes and men committed to maintaining a healthy prostate.

While genital orgasm can be extraordinarily satisfying, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

We are designed to experience orgasm as a perpetual, sustainable, full body rush.

Once we learn how to open the sexual, spiritual and emotional pathways to full body orgasm, we can begin to cultivate and direct this pleasure into every area of life and lovemaking.

In the Tantric iconography, we often see two lovers entwined in a sexual position referred to as YabYum. In this position, we meet in the most intimate way possible, there is no space between us.

We’ll explore this inner channel that leads to full body orgasm and learn ways to cultivate it’s potential in our body.

Opening to a Partner

Most of the practices, so far, have been solo practices. It’s at this point in the weekend immersion that we step into partnered practice. Upon opening the sexual channels, creating a pathway for full body orgasmic experience, we can now learn how to join these channels with a lover.

What happens when the natural forces of sexual arousal are shared and woven together between partners?

We’ll explore this practice and learn ways of bringing it into our sexual experience with a partner.

Letting Go

The Indian mystic Osho once said, “Just relax into each other and forget about the mind. Enjoy the very presence of the other, the meeting, and get lost in it. Don't try to make anything out of it; there is nothing to make. Then one day there will be a valley orgasm; there will be no peak. There will be only relaxation, but that has its own peak because it has depth. Some day the body will trigger itself into a peak orgasm but that will also be coming; you will just be there.”

It’s very hard for us to relax, there is so much stress in today’s world. The stress accumulates, tension builds in the body, we are often in a low grade state of fight or flight without even realizing it.

We’ll explore a dynamic practice sequence that teaches the body how to let go on a very deep level, opening the possibility for the valley and peak orgasm Osho speaks of.

Who Are You as a Sexual Being?

How do you like to be made love to? Many have never even given this a thought. We are so wrapped up in pleasing our partner, making the relationship work, balancing the many responsibilities in our lives, that we lose our connection to the lover within.

Knowing what we enjoy sexually, is the first step in making it happen. It reveals our uniqueness and creates the polarity necessary for sexual attraction and desire.

We’ll explore the inner details that make each of us the unique lover we are.

Celebrate Pleasure

Life is a great deal more sensual than most of us would ever imagine. In the final session we’ll explore a Tantric ritual that ignites the mystical aspects of this ancient path.

Our senses are the vehicles that bring pleasure in all its forms into our lives.

You will be guided into a realm that may have existed before only in your dreams, as you celebrate the warmth and vibrancy of being fully alive.

Here's what participants are saying . . .

Opening. Prior to BFA I was aware of my own energy but not really. After taking the class, not only was I able to understand the energy but I was able to work with it. Through this process I also began to identify blocks within myself that were sabotaging my own energetic flow. Dawn thoughtfully walks her students through the processes that allow them to rise to their truest potential thereby allowing them a greater connection not only with themselves but with their partners and the world around them. JS

Build your foundation. I have been in this class more than once and each time I learn something new. Dawn has a way getting you to open up, clear out and make space for what ever it is you need. Her intuitive approach works for everyone. I've seen participants from all walks of life respond to her workshops. If you're looking to connect deeper with your partner or yourself and who you really are, "Be Fully Alive" will show you the way. SS

Be Fully Alive changed my life! After taking the class the first time, I said "Yes!" to pleasure and to expressing myself more fully! I since have taken the class 4 times and each time I find more places of expansion and love within myself. MM

This is such a good building block in ones journey in Tantra. I have done it twice and learned more each time about opening up, surrendering and sharing my heart freely with others. Dawn helps one to open one's heart to others and to oneself in such a gentle, loving way. No one is pushed, only encouraged to participate as much as one feels comfortable doing. Dawn is a very intuitive teacher and guide and I would follow her anywhere. She has changed the way I experience intimacy and love, with an open heart, unafraid. What a gift!!! AP

Awakening of my Inner Fire I was so in awe after my experience in BFA.. I literally was a different person after it.. I learned about my energy that was and is always present within me.. this is an amazing weekend, very fun, sacred and awakening.. I felt overflowing if life, love and joy for the present moment. KK

Be Fully Alive begins a process of self discovery in tantra and to be with the perfect caring and brilliant teacher is such a treasure for the heart!!! This workshop is all about self love and finding ways to get past our blocks to find the pathway to bliss and pleasure. Self knowledge is what is uncovered as well as discovery about the other. Dawn is alway creating new ways to allow us to excavate our minds, bodies and souls....What I learned most was that tantra is all about love...fully and completely. The weekend we start with a foundation and build to with each and every exercise...I learned to connect deeply with just about everyone in the class. Feeling connection with everyone in our lives is possible and real if we allow it...This is a celebration of joy of love and feeling fully alive!!!! Amazing experience moment to moment! LOVE. AR

Deeper and Deeper! I love this class so much I've done it 4 times now! Every time I go deeper with the exercises and I discover more joy and more wisdom in the practice. DL

Shinrin-Yoku . 森林浴 . Excursion Through The Giant Sequoias
Shinrin-Yoku means "taking in the forest atmosphere" or "forest bathing." It was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine.

Researchers have established a robust body of scientific literature on the health benefits of spending time under the canopy of a living forest. The idea is simple, if a person simply visits a natural area and walks in a relaxed way there are calming, rejuvenating and restorative benefits to be achieved. We have always known this intuitively. In the past several decades there have been many scientific studies that are demonstrating the mechanisms behind the healing effects of simply being in wild and natural areas.

Vedanta is located just a few miles from the Trail of 100 Giants, a grove that contains approximately 125 Giant Sequoias greater than 10 feet in diameter and more than 700 Giant Sequoias less than 10 feet in diameter. The largest tree in the grove has a diameter of 20 feet and is 220 feet in height. It is estimated that the ages of larger Giant Sequoia trees in the grove are up to 1,500 years old.

Shinrin-Yoku is a beautiful way to experience the majesty and healing energy of these Giant Sequoias. Your excursion will be scheduled during one of the daily lunch breaks, the time and day will be confirmed one week prior to the event.

Tantra
The word Tantra has many meanings, it can mean “to weave”, it can also mean “technique”. In recent years interest in Tantra has grown, many teachers are sharing extraordinary practices and teachings, some reaching back thousands of years, others as fresh as the turn of the century and others even more recent. I recognized the potency of sex as a means to actualize my intellectual, emotional and creative potential in my early 30‘s. Soon after that, I discovered Tantra. Through Tantra I’ve found an endless road of possibility, taking me to an ever expanding experience of the outer reaches of my potential as a human being, a woman and a lover. In this process, I have discovered a life that exceeds my wildest dreams. I am intrigued by what is possible for us a sexual beings, I hope you’ll join me on the quest.

What to Expect
All processes are taught and effectively learned fully clothed and without direct sexual contact. There is no nudity or sexual contact in the seminar. All techniques and processes are shared with warmth and respect. You may choose to work alone or with a partner for all partnered exercises. Many singles and couples attend, partnering among singles happens with great ease, life long friendships are often forged.

Sexual Persona
Our upbringing has a tremendous impact on who we are as sexual adults. The messages and beliefs we hold are often hidden, causing us to be less open sexually than we know we are capable of. Past relationships, pain and disappointment, conservative upbringing and societal expectations, can severely limit our sexual expression and ability to feel sexual pleasure. We’ll explore the roots of our sexual persona and begin to move beyond any elements that may be limiting us.

The Pelvis
It comes as no surprise that our pelvis is an important part of our sexual experience. The pelvis is alive with a complex matrix of sensory nerves responsible for a great deal of our sexual pleasure.

These techniques are also important in genital rejuvenation for women experiencing hormonal changes and men committed to maintaining a healthy prostate. We’ll explore internal sexual yogas that literally wake up the pelvic floor muscles, creating a heightened experience of fullness in arousal and vibrant sexual health.

While genital orgasm can be extraordinarily satisfying, it’s only the tip of the iceberg, We are designed to experience orgasm as a perpetual, sustainable, full body rush.

We’ll explore this practice and learn ways of bringing it into our sexual experience with a partner.

Self Pleasuring
Self pleasuring is an important part of a healthy sex life, yet all too often self pleasure is something that is practiced only to relieve sexual tension. This experience can be somewhat cold and empty, focusing only on orgasm and release, forgetting the attributes of warmth and connection that are essential to fulfilling sexual experience. You’ll be given detailed instructions and practices for creating a self pleasuring experience of your own Saturday evening that will not only change your attitude about yourself and your sexuality, but will open your body to a greater sense of ease and creativity when connecting with a partner.

Letting Go
The Indian mystic Osho once said, “Just relax into each other and forget about the mind. Enjoy the very presence of the other, the meeting, and get lost in it. Don't try to make anything out of it; there is nothing to make. Then one day there will be a valley orgasm; there will be no peak. There will be only relaxation, but that has its own peak because it has depth. Some day the body will trigger itself into a peak orgasm but that will also be coming; you will just be there.” It’s very hard for us to relax, there is so much stress in today’s world. The stress accumulates, tension builds in the body, we are often in a low grade state of fight or flight without even realizing it. We’ll explore a dynamic practice sequence that teaches the body how to let go on a very deep level, opening the possibility for the valley and peak orgasm Osho speaks of.

The class Thursday, May 30th, is an Open Class, cost $50. You do not have to be enrolled in the 7-week series to attend the Sex Actualization . Open Class, everyone is welcome.

What's it like to participate?

"Throughout the Sex Actualization sessions, I awakened to the difference between making versus allowing. For the first to evenings I was very afraid. My mind racing with doubt and questions. How can I do this? How can I be good at this? I must be good at this? I have to make something happen? These were the questions and many more that were playing in my mind.

As the weeks progressed, Dawn's beautiful guidance would awaken me to allowing things to happen. Allowing things to present themselves. The following sessions were amazing magical experiences of unfolding. At times I would feel the observer of my experience. I could feel my entire body vibrating and pulsating. It was blissful ecstasy. I felt my body flow from one thing to the next. I no longer had thoughts of what can I do next, what is coming up? It was a beautiful unfolding of the moment. Sexuality at its best.

"In my experience in the sea of spirituality that is LA - I have found many people throwing loosely the term 'life changing." My experience in 3 separate 7 week intensives I can truly say Dawn has changed my life.

The work has been so deep yet subtle, powerful yet tender and I have come to know my truth as a man. There really isn't a secret, her presence, years of experience makes the whole group feel safe and inspired. Dawn has awakened me to the magic that is living in the here and now. I have broken past grief, loved deeply and celebrated in ecstatic dance!

It is a challenge to write a testimonial because it is truly something to be experienced. Once I have- I simply cannot go back into what was a much more disconnected fearful existence. I have blossomed in my sexuality and confidence with and without a partner. I feel freedom and passion like I haven't known before- I will continue to work with her for as long as I can imagine! Love you Dawn." JW

. . . . . . . .

"To be able to open into my sexuality is meeting myself for the first time and feeling the freedom to express exactly who I am without judgement is a gift. Sex Actualization is a 7 week series and I just completed my third installment!

There is a sequence of meditation, connection, practices with partners or as individuals and ritual. We've create a wonderful community of loving and caring and full of respect for the other. This is a love lab where we get to confront what holds us back from feel joy. I've gone through a range of emotions in various classes and I find myself revealing more of my layers of who I am, what I want and I'm deepening my ability to accept myself and others.

We learn the beauty that is within our sex and how to gain wisdom from our sexual centers helping us become more radiant lovers of life. I've learned to play and have pleasure in my body and as a single it is nice to just partner with someone of the opposite sex and not feel I have to date anyone. Our group genuinely cares for one another and when we share our vulnerabilities, fears and our honest in the moment feelings.

There is much joy in these practice and in Dawn's vision. She is a tantra explorer extraordinaire and we never know where we may go from week to week. It keeps getting deeper and more profound with each class. It has changed my perception on love, relationship and I've let go of some of the cultural standards to feel ok with just finding love with myself. I feel perfectly happy being me...This is the best feeling in the world Freedom! Sign up and take the dive!!!! LOVE" AR

Level 1 Neo Tantra ImmersionBe Fully Alive . Santa Monica

Your sexual energy is one of the most powerful spiritual awakening forces in your life, yet a great deal of your sexual potential lies untapped, unexplored. Learn ways of accessing this potential, freeing it, as you open your body, heart and soul to the experience of being fully alive.

Using Neo Tantra techniques that incorporate breath, movement and awareness, you will learn how to access the heart of your aliveness - your sexual energy.

The word Tantra has many meanings, it can mean “to weave”, it can also mean “technique”. In recent years interest in Tantra has grown, many teachers are sharing extraordinary practices and teachings, some reaching back thousands of years, others as fresh as the turn of the century and others even more recent.

You have probably already recognized the potency of sex in your own life - and feel ready to explore Tantra.

Through Tantra you will find an endless road of possibility, revealing practical tools that lead to physical, emotional and spiritual fulfillment as a lover.

In this process, you will discover a life that exceeds your wildest dreams. You will be intrigued by what is possible for you as a sexual being.

I look forward to having you along for the quest.

What to Expect

All processes are taught and effectively learned fully clothed and without direct sexual contact.

There is no nudity or sexual contact in the seminar.

All techniques and processes are shared with warmth and respect.

You may choose to work alone or with a partner for all partnered exercises.

Many singles and couples attend, partnering among singles happens with great ease, life long friendships are often forged.

Breathing

According to Masters and Johnson’s Human Sexual Response Cycle model, when sexual arousal increases, so does the rate of breathing.

Increased oxygenation caused by increased rate of breathing leads to increased genital sensitivity and excitement in both men and women.

Breathing expands this intensity throughout the body, allowing sexual arousal to fill the genitals and overflow into the entire body.

We’ll explore breathing methods that make this process more conscious, making it possible to access a wide range of sexual arousal states and experiences in lovemaking alone and with a partner.

Giving and Receiving

Truly satisfying sex requires that we embrace the dynamics of giving and receiving, it is necessary to simultaneously connect and let go within ourselves and with our partner.

This balance is not always easy, many of us find we are more comfortable giving pleasure in lovemaking and less comfortable receiving.

We’ll explore the connection between receptivity, orgasm and fulfillment, and the origins of each.

Sexual Persona

Our upbringing has a tremendous impact on who we are as sexual adults. The messages and beliefs we hold are often hidden, causing us to be less open sexually than we know we are capable of.

We’ll explore the roots of our sexual persona and begin to move beyond any elements that may be limiting us.

The Pelvis

It comes as no surprise that our pelvis is an important part of our sexual experience.

The pelvis is alive with a complex matrix of sensory nerves responsible for a great deal of our sexual pleasure.

We live in a time and a culture where we spend a fair amount of time sitting, causing stagnation in the lower back and groin, leading, over time, to diminished sensitivity in the genitals.

It’s important to realize our pelvis also contains the center of who we are, the Taoist’s call it the dantien. Bringing vitality into the pelvis brings vitality into our sense of who we are, increases our confidence and ability to interact successfully in all intimate situations.

We’ll learn sexual yogas that open energy channels that increase sexual sensitivity and pleasure while simultaneously liberating our own healthy sense of ourselves.

The Pelvic Floor

Just as the pelvis is key to our sexual expression and healthy sense of self, the pelvic floor, muscles that surround and support the genitals, are essential to the magnitude of orgasm and sexual “fit” we have with a partner.

Engorgement tissues in both men and women create the fullness that increases the pleasurable contact between lovers.

These tissues, when fully functioning, can heighten the intensity of orgasm by increasing the reservoir of sexual pleasure accumulated during sexual stimulation.

These techniques are also important in genital rejuvenation for women experiencing hormonal changes and men committed to maintaining a healthy prostate.

While genital orgasm can be extraordinarily satisfying, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

We are designed to experience orgasm as a perpetual, sustainable, full body rush.

Once we learn how to open the sexual, spiritual and emotional pathways to full body orgasm, we can begin to cultivate and direct this pleasure into every area of life and lovemaking.

In the Tantric iconography, we often see two lovers entwined in a sexual position referred to as YabYum. In this position, we meet in the most intimate way possible, there is no space between us.

We’ll explore this inner channel that leads to full body orgasm and learn ways to cultivate it’s potential in our body.

Opening to a Partner

Most of the practices, so far, have been solo practices. It’s at this point in the weekend immersion that we step into partnered practice. Upon opening the sexual channels, creating a pathway for full body orgasmic experience, we can now learn how to join these channels with a lover.

What happens when the natural forces of sexual arousal are shared and woven together between partners?

We’ll explore this practice and learn ways of bringing it into our sexual experience with a partner.

Letting Go

The Indian mystic Osho once said, “Just relax into each other and forget about the mind. Enjoy the very presence of the other, the meeting, and get lost in it. Don't try to make anything out of it; there is nothing to make. Then one day there will be a valley orgasm; there will be no peak. There will be only relaxation, but that has its own peak because it has depth. Some day the body will trigger itself into a peak orgasm but that will also be coming; you will just be there.”

It’s very hard for us to relax, there is so much stress in today’s world. The stress accumulates, tension builds in the body, we are often in a low grade state of fight or flight without even realizing it.

We’ll explore a dynamic practice sequence that teaches the body how to let go on a very deep level, opening the possibility for the valley and peak orgasm Osho speaks of.

Who Are You as a Sexual Being?

How do you like to be made love to? Many have never even given this a thought. We are so wrapped up in pleasing our partner, making the relationship work, balancing the many responsibilities in our lives, that we lose our connection to the lover within.

Knowing what we enjoy sexually, is the first step in making it happen. It reveals our uniqueness and creates the polarity necessary for sexual attraction and desire.

We’ll explore the inner details that make each of us the unique lover we are.

Celebrate Pleasure

Life is a great deal more sensual than most of us would ever imagine. In the final session we’ll explore a Tantric ritual that ignites the mystical aspects of this ancient path.

Our senses are the vehicles that bring pleasure in all its forms into our lives.

You will be guided into a realm that may have existed before only in your dreams, as you celebrate the warmth and vibrancy of being fully alive.

Here's what participants are saying . . .

Opening. Prior to BFA I was aware of my own energy but not really. After taking the class, not only was I able to understand the energy but I was able to work with it. Through this process I also began to identify blocks within myself that were sabotaging my own energetic flow. Dawn thoughtfully walks her students through the processes that allow them to rise to their truest potential thereby allowing them a greater connection not only with themselves but with their partners and the world around them. JS

Build your foundation. I have been in this class more than once and each time I learn something new. Dawn has a way getting you to open up, clear out and make space for what ever it is you need. Her intuitive approach works for everyone. I've seen participants from all walks of life respond to her workshops.

The Fragrance of the Lotus teacher training offers far more than it could possibly promise in any ad or brochure. Beyond the meaty curriculum, and the skills that I learned for teaching and sharing Neo-Tantra, I underwent a complete transformation.

Within the training, because of the remarkable space that Dawn held, I was faced with everything that has ever held me back from fully embodying my sexuality and aliveness. This awareness was both liberating and terrifying and I felt supported in every way throughout this process.

Before the training, I was a young girl in love with Neo-Tantra and with many illusions about who I was and who I wanted to be. Since I have emerged from the training I am in a new and dynamic relationship with life, I have a successful business teaching Neo-Tantra, and I am experiencing an authentic sexuality that is far beyond what I once thought was possible.

Dawn’s teaching style stands out in that it is for the true Neo-Tantric, if your interest is in solely learning techniques and emerging from a training as some kind of proclaimed ‘expert’ you are looking in the wrong place. In finding Dawn, you have found a true master. This training holds to the absolute essence of Neo-Tantra, stopping at nothing to support you in discovering what it is to truly be alive and integrated in all aspects of your life.

~Charu Morgan

I entered the Fragrance of the Lotus Program because I wanted to immerse myself intensely and for a long period of time in the experience of Neo-Tantra. Neo-Tantra had been both a healing and exciting path for several years. Now I longed to expand my awareness of and relationship with Love.

During the year I had many opportunities to see how I was restricted by my self-imposed limitations. As I trusted myself to release and to go beyond my "comfort zone" I discovered capabilities and opportunities I never imagined possible.

This was especially true about teaching. I signed up for the course without a desire to actually teach. One of my major expansions was to let go of my limiting beliefs about my ability and allow myself the honor and opportunity to teach. It was amazing to actually lead parts of a workshop. I was supported by Dawn and my fellow classmates. Later before the beginning of the third session, a couple asked me assist with relationship issues just prior to their wedding. Without any hesitation I held several private sessions. It was just so natural.

The assignments encouraged clear communication, keeping commitments and maintaining momentum. The opportunity to travel to 3 different areas of the world provided opportunities to experience both the culture and the strength of the land.

I learned so much about myself and grew so much during the course. My life is so expanded. At times I realized nothing was as it had been before. The only thing I could do was to trust. Tantra is the constant.

Here's what participants are saying . . .

"I’ve been trained to teach Tantra and want to recommend Dawn Cartwright as a wonderful teacher Dawn has found a way to demystify the study of Tantra by showing you where to find the Tantric experience already within yourself. Some small feeling is glowing within you, an ember that when you blow on it, expands into a world of wondrous new experiences and sensations. Give yourself a gift—take a Tantra workshop from Dawn and expand your experience of your sexual self. Dawn takes the mystery out of Tantra and makes the magic available to everyone." Jocelyn Olivier, Master Bodyworker, Teacher, Entrepreneur

"Ecstasy of the Heart provided me with the tools I needed to be able to find ecstasy everywhere and anywhere at anytime!! An enlightening experience which lends itself to a total shift in perspective!" Sean Silvera, Contractor, Yoga Instructor

"Ecstasy of the heart is a deeper look into your Tantra practice. This workshop somehow connected my touch with my heart and from there blew me wide open. Dawn always has a way of showing you path to ecstasy. I leave this workshop vibrating for weeks! Really!" Jennifer Silvera, Registered Nurse, Yoga Instructor

Frequently asked questions . . .

Q: I've not yet completed the Level 1 workshop, Be Fully Alive, can I attend Ecstasy of the Heart?

A: Yes, both Be Fully Alive and Ecstasy of the Heart stand on their own as comprehensive immersions into the cosmology of contemporary Tantric practice. Be Fully Alive focuses on our connection with ourselves, Ecstasy of the Heart focuses on maintaining the integrity of our heart while engaging in, and uplifting, our experience of intimate relationship.

Q: I'm single, is it ok to attend alone? And, if so, will I be partnered with other participants during the exercises?

A: Yes, I encourage singles to attend. In fact, there are even people in long-term committed relationships that find that attending as a single is helpful. The group is usually comprised of 50% singles and 50% couples, it's always a dynamic, supportive group. Many of the exercises are done alone, some may be experienced with a partner. I take time at the beginning of the weekend to make sure everyone in the group is comfortable and aquainted with one another and then partnering happens quite easily. Many participants make life-long friends over the course of the weekend.

Q: Is there nudity in the workshop?

A: There is no nudity or sexual contact during the workshop. All practices are easily learned fully clothed and everyone in the entire workshop is fully clothed. You'll be amazed how much of your sexuality actually springs from deep within your body - and how these very specific practices unleash the capacity for fulfillment and love within you.

Q: How can I prepare?

A: I recommend skimming through Margot Anand's book, The Art of Sexual Ecstasy, as a fantastic preparation for the weekend. Margot was my first and much beloved, Tantra teacher.

Q: I have plans Sunday afternoon, can I leave the workshop early on Sunday?

A: The Ecstasy of the Heart program is a carefully designed transformational energetic process, it's required to be present for all the sessions from beginning to end. This enhances the process for you and everyone in the group by providing a container that is safe and supportive.

Year Long Immersion & Teacher TrainingFragrance of the Lotus . Europe

Fragrance of the Lotus is a year long immersion into Tantra practice, research, study and community. A year spent discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary, plunging into ancient texts, cultivating the seeds of devotion that live within the heart of human sexuality. A year in full bloom.

“Your being blossoms and opens all its petals and releases its beautiful fragrance.” Osho

Fragrance of the Lotus is a comprehensive experiential exploration of Tantra through study and practice.

Fragrance of the Lotus is open to . . .

Individuals with a deep love and desire for deepening within the path of Tantra.

Tantra teachers who have already been certified by Chandra Bindu Tantra Institute and wish to receive the Associates certification.

Fragrance of the Lotus is an invitation to a year of living in the Tantric field through direct experience. You will explore the Shakta, Shavia and Vaishnavite Tantric lineages. You'll be immersed in sutras from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, ignited by the beautiful sexual pūjās of the Shakta lineages and wooed by devotional Vaishnuvite bhakti practices.

You'll adventure into the portal of vibratory stillness that exists at the center of orgasm - when orgasm is experienced beyond habitual muscular contraction and sensory exclusion. Entering the realms of magic so apparent in our loving. Bringing into form, over and over and over again, the desireless desire that lives at the center of us all.

You'll come to "see" the true shape of the penis and vagina when limitations of cultural influence are dissolved and true vision returns. Our genitals hold tremendous power. Power that births dreams and desires.

The Tantric path is rich with meaning, it is an invitation to discover the extraordinary secreted away within the ordinary. The macrocosm hidden within the microcosm.

Six years ago, I visited an ashram in Southern India. It was the first time I saw Kamakhya, the goddess in the form of the female genitals. What struck me first, was her beauty. Beauty that penetrated my heart before it entered my eye. The next thing I noticed was the head of the penis emerging out of the vulva, rather than penetrating in. Guruji Sri Amritananda explained, "All things come from the Mother."

"It is the place of original magic." Sheila Chandra

You'll be lovingly invited to explore all aspects of your sexuality and discover who you are, sexually, when all your judgments and fears have been dissolved. You'll awaken the capacity to listen, experiencing sexuality as a song sung throughout your body.

You'll spend over a year in deep ecstatic meditation and go beyond what you have ever imagined, yet have always "known" was possible. You'll discover what it means to live within and contribute to our modern day society without being confined by it.

The Fragrance of the Lotus Year-Long Immersion is a profound commitment to discovery. Through it, you are entering a relationship the most basic alongside the most mystical, you will be drawn into a profound relationship with yourself that will illuminate all your relationships.

"A tremendous change is happening on the planet. I have a feeling we are ready, at long last, to truly love." Dawn Cartwright

Tantra, by its very nature, transforms all things into their spontaneous natural state, stripping away beliefs and conditionings that have blocked the natural authentic aliveness that exists at the core of each of us. Fragrance of the Lotus, the Immersion, and the men and women who will travel along with you, represent a tremendous step toward knowing yourself by experiencing Tantra deeply, intimately, with no limits or boundaries.

I invite you to take the leap.
